You received an Clams Connect QR. Find out what you'll be doing next!
LNPlay is a Lightning Network Simulator. Everyone gets a unique QR code allowing them to control a dedicated lightning node using Clams Remote. But we're not using real bitcoin here. It's just fake regtest coins!
We may be using fake money, but the educational and learning value is very real! Use LNPlay to learn about the mechanics of the Lightning Network and help onboard the next wave of Lightning Users with LNPlay.
Steps
Here are the typical steps at an LNPlay event.
- Get in groups of 3-5 people
- Create a "circle" of channels amongst each other. Open a channel of no more than 100,000 sats to your direct neighbor.
- Balance your channels WITHIN the small group by making payments to each other.
- Open channels with other groups.
- Balance those channels. with BOLT11 OR BOLT12 payments.
- Try BOLT12 Withdraw
- Check your routing performance!
Now that you've established balanced channels and can reliably make payments, you can go develop on LNPlay during the hackathon. Check out the LNWidget Getting Started Guide to continue your journey!
